What this book is about-
from the publisher "It’s1953 and 11-year-old Penny dreams of a summer of butter pecan ice cream, swimming, and baseball. But nothing’s that easy in Penny’s family. For starters, she can’t go swimming because her mother’s afraid she’ll catch polio at the pool. To make matters worse, her favorite uncle is living in a car. Her Nonny cries every time her father’s name is mentioned. And the two sides of her family aren’t speaking to each other!"

Why I like this book--
I loved the book Penny from Heaven because it was suspenseful and made me want to keep reading. Penny from Heaven is full of action, comedy and suspense and would definetely recommend it!!
